These Are My JOTtings...

By Faith

By faith, we have the Life we live.
We move from day to day.
By faith, Salvation is a Gift.
We Joy and work and play.

By faith, we open up our hands
to show the ones we are.
By faith, our futures, all our plans
are safe from near to far.

By faith, our sins are dead and gone
through Calv'ry's open grave.
By faith, our Hope is lasting won
by One, whose no one's slave.

By faith, though Past accuse us sore
the Future stands secure.
By faith, I know that Life is more
than this lone earthly tour.
